According to historical data from CityNews, Friday's forecasted price fits within a broader pattern of fluctuating summer fuel costs: in August, the high was 182.9 cents and the low 162.9 cents; in July, the high was 183.9 cents and the low 163.9 cents; and in June, the high was 177.9 cents and the low 157.9 cents.
